"Leather and Jeans. Garage glamorous." - Lady Gaga "Paparazzi"

When I hear those lyrics, it always sends outfits swimming in my head. Here's me putting a look on paper...er, blog! What would be YOUR garage glam look??

OOTD: Glamour Island

Got all gussied up, and probably inappropriately absurd, to go see Shutter Island. Reminded me why we always go to the 21+ theaters to avoid teenagers. However, the movie was excellent and our impromptu photo shoot led to some decent shots.

OOTD: House Party!

So we headed out to a casual house party in the Valley on Saturday; I wanted something that was casual and comfortable, but still interesting. Like I said, it was low key, so pardon the wrinkle-y dress...it's one of the main reasons it's SOOO difficult to wear (it wrinkles by looking at it sideways!).

Bubble Pop: Too Cool for S-cool

I love this set of basic pieces, thrown with fun pop colors! It's cheapest to add color with leggings, bags and accessories to basics like a denim skirt and a black motorcycle jacket. I love how a GIANT bag looks with an ensemble, so what do I usually do? I "plus size" my bag, I do! I often purchase bags intended as "luggage" or "weekend bags" and use them as purses. Not only can I fit tons of things, but I also get that same "over-sized" look that many girls have with their purses. Betsey Johnson has TONS of great overnight bags that can be used for this purpose. My favorite places to find her luggage on sale? Torrid, Ross, Marshalls, TJ Max, Nordstrom Rack, Off Saks, and Loehmann's.

Fundies!!

Just because the world can't see 'em, doesn't mean they should be nasty. For real, ladies. I, myself, am such a fan of wearable items, that I squeal when movies have 3D glasses (yay! mas accessories!), so it's no shocker that my unmentionables are worth mentioning.
As per usual in the land of Chubble Bubble, this isn't always the easiest feat. I've got a big ol' cup size and it usually lands me in the boring world of neutral bras. Black is the spiciest that I had for YEARS! Now, places like Torrid and Lane Bryant not only expanded their cup range, but decided that they are ALLOWED to be cute! HURRAY!
I've selected some of my favorite from the current Torrid range that are super playful and comfy. These are sassy everyday pieces, perfect for casual wear but fun enough that you won't be bored to tears getting dressed. I mean....can you REALLY have a terrible day whilst wearing pink godzilla briefs??
